Free AI Training Program Launches Nationwide

The National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) and Mexico's federal government have opened registration for free courses in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and cloud computing, targeting 30,000 enrollees throughout 2026. Applications are being accepted from May 26 through July 5 at mexia.gob.mx.

The Public Center for Artificial Intelligence Training is a joint initiative involving the Mexican government, the IPN, Mexico's National Technology Institute, industry groups including AMITI and Infotec, and major tech companies such as Salesforce, Meta, Oracle, Microsoft, AWS, and Google. The program offers courses across five areas: artificial intelligence (10 courses), data analytics (2), networks and infrastructure (1), cloud computing (3), and cybersecurity (4).

The courses run completely online, free of charge, for five months from August through December 2026.
